Econ Core brings the U.S. and world economy together in one clean, fast app. Track 157 economic indicators — from GDP, inflation, jobs, and interest rates to the national debt, global markets, and cryptocurrency — sourced from the Federal Reserve, the U.S. Treasury, the World Bank, and more. Browse, search, chart, and actually understand the numbers that shape your money and the world. THE WHOLE ECONOMY, IN ONE PLACE 157 indicators across 16 categories, including: • U.S. macro — GDP, real growth, industrial production, retail sales • Inflation & prices — CPI, Core CPI, PCE, Producer Prices • Jobs & labor — unemployment, payrolls, jobless claims, job openings • Interest rates — Fed funds, Treasury yields, SOFR, the yield curve • Housing — mortgage rates, home prices, housing starts • Markets — S&P 500, Nasdaq, Dow, the VIX, Nikkei 225 • Government & debt — federal debt and deficit, plus the national debt updated to the penny every business day • Money & credit, commodities, consumer spending, and trade • Cryptocurrency — live prices for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and 15 more • International — GDP growth, inflation, and unemployment for China, Japan, Germany, the UK, India, and Brazil, plus the Euro area and the ECB policy rate Every data source — the U.S. Federal Reserve (FRED), the U.S. Treasury, the World Bank, Eurostat/ECB/IMF (via DBnomics), and CoinGecko — is clearly credited in the app. INTERACTIVE CHARTS WITH REAL CONTEXT • Tap anywhere on a chart to drop a crosshair and see the exact value, date, trend, and how that value ranks against the indicator's own history. • U.S. recessions shaded right on the timeline (official NBER dates). • Political-era context: bars beneath each chart show which party controlled the Presidency, the Senate, and the House over the period you're viewing. • Per-range stats: latest, average, minimum, maximum, standard deviation, and data points. Quick ranges from one year to full history. FIND ANYTHING, FAST • Search names, categories, and full plain-language definitions. • Typo-tolerant — "inflaton" still finds Inflation, "crud oil" finds Crude Oil. MAKE IT YOURS • Reorder your dashboard and show or hide any indicator; your setup is saved and survives updates. Reset to defaults anytime. • Every row shows the latest value and its change over the past year at a glance. • On iPad, browse the list and a full chart side by side, with a one-year sparkline on every row. UNDERSTAND EVERY NUMBER • A clear About panel for each indicator: source, units, frequency, and a plain-language definition — plus a view of exactly how much history is available. EXPORT & SHARE • Export any indicator to CSV or a high-resolution chart image — all data, a preset window, or a custom date range — and share it anywhere. BUILT WITH CARE • Privacy-first: no account, no ads, no tracking, no third-party analytics. Your customizations stay on your device, and the app only downloads public data — nothing about you is ever uploaded. • Full VoiceOver support, including spoken values and charts described as text, Dynamic Type, and color cues always paired with shapes. • Looks great in light and dark mode, with subtle haptic feedback on iPhone. • Efficient, battery- and data-friendly updates that refresh only when new data is actually available. Econ Core is for anyone who wants to understand the economy — investors, students, journalists, and the simply curious. No account, no clutter — just the data.
